Introducing Pamela DeNardo, Interim Library Director

Hello,

I am pleased to introduce myself as the new Interim Director of the

Slatington Public Library. I am excited to continue my library career in this role and to serve the greater Northern Lehigh community.

My professional background includes experience in youth services, adult services, and readers’ advisory at both the Bethlehem Area Public Library and the Western Pocono Community Library. I look forward to sharing this experience while learning from our patrons and community partners.

I anticipate a wonderful time ahead filled with reading, learning, community outreach and shared connection at the Slatington Public Library.

Introducing Theodore "Ted" Zukowski, Assistant Librarian

Ted is a resident of Washington Township. He has been a loyal patron, showing a strong interest in our library. Please stop in and introduce yourself to Ted. He will be a familiar face in the Slatington Public Library and is anxious to meet all our patrons.

1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN

🎉📚 BIG CONGRATULATIONS to our newest graduates of our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program at Slatington Public Library! 👏✨

We’re so proud of Lincoln and Holden Hedmeck and can’t wait to celebrate more young readers soon!

Have a preschooler at home? It’s never too early to start reading together! Our program makes it fun and rewarding to reach 1,000 books before Kindergarten—with free incentives for every 100 books you read.

Stop by the library to sign up and get your starter kit today! 💙

Our library is now resource-sharing with Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Bangor, and Monroe County. That's good news for us! Resource-sharing opens up the world of library collections to library patrons, enabling them to request whatever they want or need. It saves libraries money by reducing the need to purchase materials; libraries share them with each other instead. And our members still have access to all the libraries in our consortium without ever leaving Slatington!

TO OUR GENEROUS PATRONS AND DONORS

On August 12, 2025, the Board of Trustees of the Slatington Public Library voted to begin sending a digital thank-you for donations when an email address is provided.

This small change helps us stretch every donation further by reducing mailing costs—so more of your generosity can go directly toward keeping our library strong and serving our community.

Please know how grateful we are for every gift, no matter the size. If you or your organization would prefer a mailed acknowledgment, simply let us know or include a note with your donation, and we’ll be happy to provide one.

We truly couldn’t do what we do without you. Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make every dollar count for the Slatington community.

GRANTS

We are grateful recipients of $20,000, awarded by the Harry C. Trexler Trust (2025). This grant will enable us to install new security cameras and complete some maintenance projects, including repairing a damaged wall in the back of the library.

Thanks to the Hommer Grant (2025) for awarding us $10,000 for capital improvements and the purchase of new books for our collection.

BEFESA has awarded the library $5000 to cover the cost of our elevator maintenance contract and to help us accomplish our goal of removing debris from our second floor. We are hoping to eventually expand into our second floor to acquire much needed extra space. We are grateful to BEFESA for this grant,

Many thanks to the Rotary Club of Slatington for their 2025 grant of $1500. This money will help us maintain our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program, Dr. Seuss Birthday Celebration, Mrs. Claus Visit, PreSchool Story Hour, and many other free public programs.

We are grateful to Mickley Fravel for their 2025-26 grant of $ 5,300 which is being used to renew our SPARK (online catalog) subscription and other subscription costs.
